What clients say

I attended the Natal Nook’s pregnancy relaxation 4 week in-person course. To be completely honest, I was a little hesitant about attending at first as I hadn’t done anything like this with my first born - i naively assumed these type of relaxation courses would be “airy fairy” and probably most likely ‘not my thing’. However, I'm so glad I decided to go! The class is a small intimate class - i had worried it would be busy and overwhelming - but from the moment I arrived, I was made to feel welcome and completely at ease with Natalie. Yoga mats, candles and fairy lights are a lovely way to destress after the working day.

The sessions were incredibly calming and gave me the opportunity to slow down, relax, and really connect. I actually felt that for the first time in around 3 years (since my first was born) i fully allowed myself (booked in allotted time in my diary) some time to switch off from the hamster wheel of life. The techniques that Natalie shared were easy to follow and have given me practical ways to manage stress and prepare for labour.

Natalie was kind, warm, knowledgeable, and created such a supportive, non-judgemental environment. I left feeling much more relaxed, confident, and met like-minded people going through the same stage of life as me.

I would highly recommend this class to any expectant mum, even if you're unsure or have never tried relaxation classes before. It has been such a positive experience, and I'm so pleased I gave it a chance! X

The pregnancy relaxation class was the perfect combination of time to relax but also discuss anything pregnancy and birth related. The venue and little touches from Natalie made it the perfect atmosphere to relax and open up. Natalie brought discussion points each week but was also really flexible and went with the conversation in the room. No question or topic felt off the table and it was great being able to share this with others who understand. This was my second pregnancy and I found the sessions a great way to recap breathing techniques for birth and general relaxation, and as a reminder of choices and birth preferences. I came away from the block feeling as prepared as I could be. It can be hard to prioritise rest, relaxation and time to prepare second time round, I'm so glad I booked on the sessions and had this dedicated time each week. I would highly recommend to anyone, no matter what pregnancy it is or no matter how prepared you feel, there is always something to take away from each session.

I'm so glad I signed up to these classes! Natalie offered a safe space to discuss all things birthing, ask questions and hear other perspectives...more importantly committing the time to the class and embracing the relaxation techniques from the comfort of my own home left me feeling great after and so much more relaxed, not only physically but mentally to too, thank you!!
